The majority of MPs voted to retain the offence of blasphemy and blasphemous libel in British law.
They did this by voting against inserting a new clause into the Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill, which said:
-
The offences of blasphemy and blasphemous libel are abolished.[1]
During the debate it was asserted that all votes in this issue are free for members of the Conservative Party.[2]
